Advancing with Watercolor:" Dawn on the Muddy River" Painting from Memory
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 бер 2021
- This painting was born out of a brief experience and painted largely from the memory of that experience. I am beginning to feel that the artists memory can develop like any other skill.
In this short video I am showing the basic steps - from conception to signature - that I followed to create the painting. The full length version is available of my Gumroad page
this video is bundled with an exercise in creating luminous washes as well as PDF Files that break down the demo step by step.

A wonderful trip Gary. Thanks for taking us along.
What a beautiful video 😍
You are indeed a fine artist
Gorgeous painting. Your voice is calming too. I loved watching this and for sharing your talent.
Thank you so much! appreciate the comments
Thank you Gary - a privilege to watch you.
I encourage all to take the full course of this piece that Gary offers. I enjoyed it tremendously. The most beneficial watercolor instruction one can get! Thanks Gary!
Thx for the shout out Stephen!!:)
It is not easy to state simple as you do, forever your follower, your painting gives peace like zen.
A very nice presentation, i was carried out by your narrative as well as a good music…..good job Gary. Salamat…..saludos!
Spectacular, from start to finish. Thank Gary, for taking the time to share.
Let me add one more thing. The painting and speech aside, the video does leave me a bit of sad feeling. It’s melancholy and nostalgia altogether. Feelings of something lost, so transient and unretrievable, be it a bird or a piece of grass, or a tiny snow flake. It’s a poem, a poem of lamentation. It’s beautiful.
i love your way of treating brushes and watercolor paints into art. always thank you!
What a delicious, fresh, translucent painting, Gary. Thanks so much for the tutorial. 💚
You make it look easy! I simply love the loose way you paint! And so precise at the same time! You make every brush stroke count! Thanks master!
what a beautiful !
i'm always healed by your work.
Merci beaucoup !
Wow...nice one
Very nice scenery, love the color of dawn. Thank you for bringing us close to the Natural! Your watercolor painting had provided various amazing effects! 🤗💕
I particularly liked this one as I’m interested in painting snow scenes. You really do put yourself into your paintings so well with your expressive brush work! The name ‘Muddy River’ really doesn’t do it justice, it’s such a beautiful place. Thank you.
Pauline - I to always wondered about the “Muddy “ in the muddy river - I wonder if there is a background story :)
Beautiful! Thank you so much!
Just lovely, can’t wait for the spring webinar. Great winter and fall courses. Learned lots
I’ve been following you all along and again you impressed me with your philosophical aesthetics speech while you painted along. This time you didn’t mention the usual Chinese brushwork theory but every stroke you took, especially at the birch tree, expressively manifested that infatuation. I would think you attempted the calligraphic way of painting the bamboo shoots onto the tree. I love your theory of incorporating the Chinese or Japanese brushwork into watercolor painting, a Western invention in essence. The painting is vivid, lucid and vibrant, coming alive with its colors and brushwork movements. Again, thank you from a guy who does Chinese calligraphy and oil paintings, and an art history graduate from a prestigious college in Mass.
Thank you for the kind words - my long time mentor was Kaji Aso - a Japanese Calligrapher and his instruction continues to grow in me
Love the music. And by all means the Beautiful painting. Thank you Gary.
Absolutely beautiful Gary!
Bravo! Truly wondrous.
Music added some good emotional connection to the painting even though watching on UA-cam. Great Work Gary'!
Grande maestro
Nice video. You gave a nice background of the area in addition to your painting tips. Nice production.
Köszönöm a bemutatót
Really, really nice, Gary.
That was SO relaxing to watch, thank you Gary. Perhaps the combination of the well expressed thoughts behind the painting, the beautiful music and the glow of that morning light helped me forget the third lockdown here in Italy.
I also aspire to being able to free myself from looking at the photos I take and getting confused by the information in them. Simplification seems so hard to attain.
Thx Barbara and Congratulations - Venice turns 1600 this year Salute! - an as always I appreciate your taking the time to comment :)
👍
Gorgeous intro, 😍
Excellent work! Did you add blue to the sky after the yellow and red wash dried? Can you please show how your colour didn't mix up to green and how blue blends in? Thanks
Sudha thx for the message - I added while the yellow and pink were wet - I recommend you search for my video on graded washes - I demonstrate the technique there
@@GaryTuckerArtist Thank you, will check on that 👍
Hello sir .. please share the paper you are using .. is it a rough or cold pressed one ?
I am using arches 140 rough 12 x 16
hey just a quick heads up the link in your description doesnt seem to work
Thx - I have been moving a lot of files to a new website - hope to have them in place soon
Love what you do Gary, but really not sure about this new format. I know that I'm in a minority, but I'm finding the music intrusive. i feel the video's have lost their authenticity somehow - in the artistic sense. Still a big fan of your paintings though :)
Philip thx for the feedback - as a creator I am always looking to complement the product - try this, try that, I imagine I will find a good balance in the future
